2022 College Football Polls

It's pretty clear that, barring a loss by one of them, they're just going to flip Bama and UGA back and forth when won has a disappointing loss, and no matter how dominant Ohio State looms there's zero chance of moving up.

Good thing they are irrelevant though they still influence the committee.

bama and UGA are pretty much both assured spots unless one loses 2 games.

 

[Bill Lucas]

It’s a clear separation between the top 3 and everyone else. Just keep winning.

His logic is shaky, it sounds like he’s ranking teams on how they play in the current week instead of the YTD body of work.

TBH, I see that as a better alternative than the circle-jerk SEC narrative. I’ll take any national figure stumping for us any day… and I’ll add, at least he’s applying some logic / rationale. He’s clearly not too ‘sleepy’ to put in the effort.

Just say’n.

Someone is determined not to have two SEC teams play each other in round 1. Let’s guess who and why.

And that stuff is never used for any other conference. We beat Wisconsin...that just means Wisconsin sucks. But holy fuck had Wisconsin beaten us? The entire B1G would drop.

Don't forget when unranked Wisconsin beats #5 LSU.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings/_/week/2/year/2016/seasontype/2

Wisconsin gets ranked 16, and LSU 22.
... but garbage like Arkansas and Aggy are consistently ranked top 10-15 ?

Is it really irrelevant?
If we get 2 Georgia vs 3 Ohio State, we play in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. It's effectively a home game for them.
If we get 2 Ohio State vs 3 Georgia, we play in the Fiesta Bowl. A true neutral site.

Half the sites are already home games for them. I'm tired of making it even easier and not getting seeds to play at truly neutral locations.

Irrelevant in that their polls don't matter anymore besides the influence it has on the commitee

Let me know the last time we got a seed in the CFP.
Hint: It's never.

If the polls influence the committee then how can they be irrelevant? Please, enlighten me.

True less relevant would be the better term
